Eritrea has a historical enmity with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which launched an offensive against the Ethiopian government on 23 September, but that previous hostility has been superseded by Eritrea’s desire to head off a perceived risk of Ethiopia invading it, in order to access the Red Sea.

In the last two weeks, the TPLF and six other armed groups within Ethiopia have fought the government in Tigray and neighbouring regions Amhara and Afar. Ethiopia’s military pushed back and an allied militia, the Tigray Peace Force, took over Tigray’s regional capital Mekelle on 4 October after the TPLF withdrew from the city.
